Beginning in 2007,
the United States honored our Nations Presidents by issuing
$1 circulating coins featuring their images in the order that
they served. The United States Mint struck and issued four
Presidential $1 coins per year, each with a reverse design
featuring the Statue of Liberty. The composition of the new
Presidential $1 Coins was identical to that of the Sacagawea
Dollar. The Mint continued to produce the Sacagawea Dollar in
quantities no less than one-third of the years total dollar
mintage.

Below is the
release schedule for the Presidential Dollars. Living Presidents
were excluded from the series and would have only been added only
if they had been deceased for two years prior to their coins
release. Living Presidents when the Presidential Dollar coin
series ended were Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

* Initially, due to the U. S. Mint's
interpretation of the legislation authorizing the presidential
dollar coin program,
they announced that a $1 coin honoring President Ronald Reagan
would not be produced. However, in February 2015
they reversed their decision after urging from the chairman of
the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Monetary
Policy and Trade, Rep. William P. Huizenga, R-Mich.
